All Cars, All the Time

How is the Mazda CX-7 Selling?



I don't have the sales numbers for this vehicle, but I have to admit that I haven't see that many on the road. There have also been quite a few lease deals available, which can sometimes infer that they are trying a little harder to move the metal. The offer above is particularly interesting in that it requires no money for drive off. Now, it only allows for 875 miles/mo but usually an extra $10 or $20/mo will get that limit raised up enough to make it liveable. So many leases require a down of $2,500, $3,000 or sometimes much more which when divided by the number of months in the lease easily adds hundreds to the payment.

I took a short spin in the CX-7 and found it quite sporty for the size and I like its styling. For me it's in a strange place where it's not small enough to be a personal car and not big enough to be a family ride. Never the less, I'm a big fan of Mazda and its lineup of cars.

Speaking of leases, I read an article the other day about wear and tear insurance for leased vehicles. This insurance would protect the shoppers from huge bills when they turn in cars with some nicks and scratches that are over the allowable limits. I've always taken excellent care of my leased cars, but I have to admit until the deal is done I'm always biting my nails. This kind of insurance may become standard just like gap insurance for leased vehicles is pretty much standard today. I know I'd pay for it.
